The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1887-07-06

PEoF. IL. H. BoYEsEN. in the July number
of the Forum, hit the nail squarely on the
head when he wrote 1.-The statesman who
shall succeed in passing through congress a
law which will effectively check the impor-
tation of unskilled foreign labor, will have a
strong title to the gratitude of his country
men" There is nothing that so endangers
the prosperity, happiness and we'll being of
our people. nothing that so threatens
the very perpetuity of our free institutions
as the vast multitude of ignorant, INDECENT
foreigners that are being landed on our
shores in never ending, continually increas-
ing stream. Unrestricted foreign immigra-
ton, and foreign landlordism are kindre d
calamities and demand stringent legislation
for their suppression. The political party
that shall first successfully grapple with these
two rapidly growing evils will win the conf
dence of the people as its reward.

SCARCELY term of court passes in any
Judicial circuit in Michigan, that some
criminal does not urge in palliation of his
crime that he was drunk when he committed
the offense charged and, in many instances,
such excuse is allowed by the court as nit
igation of sentence. This ought not to be
the case but, on the contrary, it should
rather be viewed as an aggravating circum-
stance. When man will deliberately put
himself in a condition to commit crime,
when he will voluntarily partake os that
which he knows will dethrone reason and
render him worse than brute, he should be
held to a strict responsibility for all acts
committed by him while in such condition.
Il is a fact that few men deliberately become
criminals when they are sober but. frequently,
they drink for the express purpose of put
ting themselves III condition to do the deed
they contemplate. If our courts would unite
in considering intoxication as an aggravation
OF the offense committed instead of pallia-
ton thereof. there would be less drunkenness
and less crime.

The Loyal Life Association, during the
tendency of the famous Cross bill for the
suppression of graveyard insurance, pro
tested vigorously that it was doing a legti-
mate business and that it was suffering an
irreparable injury by being classed with
"snide" companies. In view of such protes.
tations, it is just little singular that it has
come to the conclusion that it cannot do bus.
mess in this state after October first, the
date when the new law goes into operation
But such is the fact and it has already made
the announcement to its policy holders that
it will be compelled to remove its head quar-
tiers to another state. Michigan owes debt
of gratitude to that " little bald headed Ban
gor boy who so ably championed the anti
graveyard bill and stood by it against the
most determined opposition until it was
finally enacted into a law and placed on the
statute books of the state.

dignantly denies the authorship of the recent
letter on the flag question, purporting to
have been written by him, and pronounces it
a forgery. And so all the democratic news
papers of the land that have been pointing
with pride to that same letter, have once
more had the underpinning knocked out
from under them. 1t was mighty mean
trick on the part of the fossilized old traitor
not to father the letter of which the democ-
racy was so proud. What in the world is the
party to do when its patriarchs sit down on
il in such an unceremonious manner?

UNDER the amended school law, the board
of county examiners will consist of two
members only. There will be no new mem
bers chosen this year, the two having the
longest time to serve holding over. The ex-
aminers and judge of probate elect a secre-
tary, outside of the board itself, who visits
all the schools in the county and conducts
all examinations, but does not pass upon
the examination papers, that being the duty
of the examiners. Three grades of certif-
Gates are given as under the old law, the first
grade being good throughout the entire state.

The Detroit Ec6niHg NerS' latest fad is
opposition to the free school system of Mich
igan and especially to the university. II
probably imagines that it can turn an honest
penny by pursuing such course. 1t was
wonderfully wrought up because Mr.. F. l.
Moran, in his class Grafton, pitched into
socialism, HENRY GEoRGE-ism and kindred
isms that ought never to have found a lodg
ment in this country. If it desires to become
q champion of those whose teachings would
overthrow our institutions and destroy our
entire social fabric, it has perfect right &c
do so, but it shows a lack of judgment and
good sense, Just the same.

ANOTHER ELECTRIC RAILROAD.
The Board of Public Works Rec.
Ommend NIr. Books Fran chise.

1t will be remembered that a short
time since Messrs. j. H. Book ct al.
petitioned the City Council for fran
chise for an electric railway to run
over the following route: Commenc-
ing at a point opposite the Santa Fe
avenue, running thence up Georgia
street to Alameda, to Fourth, to
Spring, to Sixth, to Hill, to Eighth, to
Hope, to Eleventh, on which street it
will go as far as the city limits. Yes
terday morning the Board of Public
Works, to which body the petition
was referred, voted unanimously for
the granting of the franchise and will
recommend the same to the City
Council Monday afternoon. The sys-
tenn which Mr.. Book and his asso-
ciates will use on the line is that in
vented by Edmond Julien and is what
is called the Storage Battery System.
This system was adopted in April,
1886, by the street railways of Brus-
sells and in June last Mr.. Julien placed
two of his cars in service on the
Champs Elysees, under the supervis-
ion of ten members of the lnterna-
tional Society of Electricians of France,
M. Fontaine at the head. These cars
were awarded the first prize and a
diploma of honor. In New York one
OF his cars is running on Eighth ave-
nue. and easily travels at the rate of
eight and half miles an hour. The
manipulation of the system
is far easier than that
of the horse system. Each
car will require about three-horse
power in the way of steam engine, 30
that road maintaining forty cars
would require three sixty-horse power
engines, one being in reserve. Each
car will require about three tons Of
battery, and this will enable the car
to be run about eighty miles day
with but one change Of battery. 1t
will require about eight hours to
charge each battery. The three tons
will be divided into two batteries, one
being charged while the other is on
the car. The batteries will be arran-
ged on benches on either side of the
car, and when the car comes in from
service and its batteries are exhausted
it will be run up between empty
benches, which will be on a level
with the panels OF the car. The
panels will then be let down and the
batteries will be drawn out on creased
rods. New batteries will then be run
in without trouble or DELAY. The
motor required for a large car will
vary according to the grades of the
road from seven to ten horse power,
and next to the motor the electrical
regulator is worthy of admiration. 1t
is placed at both end OF the car, and
controls SO effectively and so methodi-
cally the application of power that an
ordinary driver may learn to use it in
less than a few hours, 1t is the in
tention Of Mr.. Book and associates to
have the road in operation at the
earliest possible date.

to 1866 in 1877-a loss of 6033 in seve n
years, and by a comparison with last
year there was loss OF ninety-nlne,
which shows that the bottom of the
down-grade has not yet been reached:
Outside the mining counties we find
that Yuba county has lost seventeen
per cent in seven years-evidently the
result of slickens-while Marin coun-
ty has lost thirteen per cent, which
can be accounted for only on the prop
osition that it is a lar e dairying coun-
ty, the large dairymen have been buy
ing out the smaller ones, and thus re-
ducing the population, while probably
the Chinese and other cheap forelgn
laborers have been on the increase.
Another item to be learned from
this table is the fact that the counties
in the north end of the State, outside
of San Francisco, with population OF
313, ,23S in 1880, have increased in
population to 343 ,447 in 1887. while
| the counties in the south end of the
State outside of San Francisco, with a
population Of 317 ,492 in 1880, have
| increased to 400, 1893 in 1887 The in

State is about 10 per cent. and in the
southern part of the State about DO
per cent.
There are other lessons to be learned
from these figures by a comparison OF
the population of 1887 with that OF
| 1886, thus showing the growth of var
ious portions of the State during the
past year, from June, 1886, to June,
1887.
The Chinese population of the State
does not figure at all, either in the
| Federal census or in the estimates
made from the school census reports.
/ Riverside Press and Horticulturlst.
The Courier at San Bernardino
claims that the results as shown above
fail to do full justice to that county.
The grounds for this claim have
escaped the writer's mind. But as for
Los Angeles, it is notoriously far
short of the truth. The person en-
ployed here to take the school census
returned less number of children as
resident in the county than were
represented as in actual attend
ance on the schools during the
previous session. The population
of the city of Los Angeles is to-day not
less than $4,000, and with the tran
sient visitors counted in, it is
over 10000. By the last Great
register it appears that the population
of the county is pretty evenly divided
between the city and the outside
country, with the outside forg-
ing rapidly ahead with much
larger aggregate of people than
those in the municipality. With
these facts in view it will appear that
the county contains a grand total OF
not less than l25 900 souls.

1t is interesting to analyze this state
ment of loss and gain.
q The southern boom crops out prom
inently at the head of the list of gains,
where San Bernardino, San Diego and
Los Angeles counties have made such
rapid strides. ,
The irrigated counties of Fresno and
Tulare, in the San Joaquin valley,
come in next for large share of the
present prosperity.
San Luis Obispo, where so much
government land has recently been
opened up for settlement and toward
which the Southern Pacific Railroad is
now building, comes in next
The other two southern counties,
Santa Barbara and Ventera, are be-
ginning to feel the heavy pulse that
beats. being stimulated by railroad
building and the overflow of the south
ern boom.
The coast valleys, as rule are next
in the line of preference, and San
Francisco, the commercial metropolis
of the Pacific Coast, seems to be max
ing healthy growth.
DECREASE IN MINING POPULATION.
Now, for the losses. We find first
that nearly all the mining counties
have lost in population by the deca-
dence of mining operations, occasioned
mainly by the shutting down of the
hydraulic mines.
Mono county is not able for a loss of
so per cent of its population, the fig
ures being reduced from 7499 in 1880

POPULATION OF CALIFORNIA.
seven Years. Increase--The Gains
and Losses.

The census of California is taken
only once in ten years, and then the
work is done by the Federal Govern
ment. The last census was taken in
1880, at which time the population of
the state was S64, 1886.
A school census OF the State is taken
annually, and while the work is not
as accurate as that done by the Fed
eral census-takers, still for all practi-
cal purposes this work will answer as
a basis for keeping track of the growth
of the State from year to year.
By taking the school cesnus of 1880
and comparing it with the population
as determined by the Federal census,
we find that there were AS people to
each census child. Using gthis as bas-
is, the Press and Horicalturist one
year ago determined the population OF
the State to be /, I,lI7,952. This result
was obtained by multiplying the num-
Der of Genus children by 4.3, and this
gave the figures given. In the same
manner the population of each county
was ascertained, and by comparing
these figures with those Of the Federal
census of l $50 the less and gain o e: C 4
county in lhe six years was easily as
certained, and this result being OBJ
tanned the per cent of loss or gain was
easily had, and thus the comparative
growth of different portions OF the
State was easily arrived at.
A few days since the writer received
from Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion, Hon. Ira G. Hoitt, an official re-
port by counties of the school census
of 1887, and from it we arrive at the
present population of the various
counties by use of the ratio 4.3 as
stated above, and hence we are able
to give our readers the following table.
The first column of figures gives the
population as ascertained by the Fed
eral census of 1880 the second column
the population in 1887 the third col
umn the gain in population, and the
fourth column the loss in population.
Following is the table:
